Definitions

  • This invention relates to fibers, and fabrics made from them, of ethylene copolymers.
  • polyethylene for formation of fiber strands and useful textiles has been limited by processing methods for the polyethylene resins available.
  • Z-N catalysts are used in a wide range of processes including low, medium, and high-pressure processes.
  • ethylene is polymerized using a Z-N catalyst
  • a "linear" product will result whose polymer molecules will be substantially unbranched.
  • Such linear polyolefins generally have relatively high densities, in the ranges of about 0.941 to about 0.965 g/ml, which result from closer packing of the polymer molecules and minimal chain entanglement compared with the more highly branched and less dense materials.
  • One characteristic of the polymeric species produced using the Z-N catalysts is their very broad molecular weight distribution. The same phenomenon is noted with the LDPE's.
  • a challenge with a polymer having a broad MWD is the likely wide variation in processing among batches.
  • a Ziegler-Natta-type broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) material will include significant fractions of molecules which are both longer and shorter than the nominal weight. The presence of those species influence the properties of the resins.
  • a polymer with a large fraction of short backbone chains will be very free-flowing at relatively low temperatures; but that same fraction will cause the polymer, or its products feel sticky or tacky, have an unpleasant odor or taste, smoke during processing, and have particularly low tensile strength.
  • the fibers may be very difficult to process due to continuous "slubbing" or breakage during attempted fiber formation. Some slubbing appears to result from formation of low-molecular-weight polymer globules on the surface of the die face or fiber as it is formed through the die. These globules may break away from the face of the fiber-forming member or impinge upon the surface of the fiber causing a break or other imperfection.
  • a polyolefin resin having a large fraction of very long-chain polymer species for a particular nominal molecular weight will form fibers well but they will be brittle or feel particularly coarse due to a high degree of crystallinity within the polymer itself. Fibers of this invention are made with such difficulties minimized.
  • Kubo et al describe, in U.S. 5,068,141, formation of non-woven fabrics comprising filaments formed of linear low-density polymer of ethylene and octene. They note that the range of comonomer incorporation within the polymer used to form the fabric is limited due to rigidity at low percentages of incorporation and difficulty in forming a fine filament at high percentages of comonomer incorporation. They also note that the useful range of densities of the polymers which are suitable for this application are constrained due to poor tenacity of filaments obtained at densities in which the current invention allows production of fine fibers which have acceptable tenacity and are soft and pleasing to the touch.
  • Fowells U.S. 4,644,045, uses a polymer melt at low-temperature for fiber spinning or drawing, to overcome processing problems in slubbing and breaking by adjusting the spinning or fabric-formation processing conditions.
  • Kubo, et al report that this technique leads to poor drawing, which in turn leads to frequent filament breaks caused by the high tensions necessary in this low-temperature operation.
  • Krupp et al U.S. 4,842,922, describe a spunbonded fabric prepared from a blend of linear polyethylenes at high rates of production. Krupp has recognized the inherent difficulty in forming fibers and subsequent non-woven fabrics from high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
  • the solution proposed by Krupp et al is to blend a high-molecular-weight polyethylene, particularly a linear low-density polyethylene, with low-molecular-weight polyethylene. Again, this is a cumbersome multi-step process designed to overcome processing limitations.
  • a process in which the resin-maker effectively produces the "softness" of the fiber and fabric offers tremendous advantage to the fiber-maker.
  • This invention has done just that.
  • Producers of fibers can simply purchase polyolefinic resins having high-value characteristics built in. Easy production of desirable fibers and fabrics with such advantages obviates the need for the less satisfactory use of cumbersome extra processing such as resin blending, post-processing creping, or slow spinning.
  • These narrow MWD products have a generally higher level of crystallinity since they lack the low MW fraction. Furthermore, they are not highly crystalline materials and so are not brittle or stiff.
  • those garments may include diapers, particularly liners and side shields, medical gowns, as well as other single-use or disposable items.
  • Other examples include elastic bandages, protective garments, athletic apparel including wrist and head bands, or wicking under layers, and other applications including medical drapes where elasticity and comfort are required.
  • these new metallocene-type catalysts have the desirable characteristic of being able to easily incorporate comonomers of varying size at high levels within the backbone of the polymer produced during the polymerization process. Also, as described in the previously mentioned art, these catalysts may be advantageously employed in several different polymerization processes including, for example, high pressure, medium pressure, low pressure, solution phase, bulk phase, slurry phase, and gas phase polymerization.
  • MWD Molecular weight distribution
  • SDBI Solubility Distribution Breadth Index
  • this test provides for measurement of the solubility of a polymer resin sample at varying temperatures in a specific solvent.
  • the net effect is that the more highly branched species within a polymer sample will be generally more soluble in solvent at the lower temperatures.
  • the less branched species begin to solvate.
  • a detector which is downstream from the elution column, to measure the amount of solvated polymer which elutes at various temperatures.
  • the average dissolution temperature One can also calculate a quantity called the Solubility Distribution Breadth Index (SDBI), which is a measure of the width of the solubility distribution curve.
  • SDBI Solubility Distribution Breadth Index
  • Solubility Distribution may be measured using a column which is 164 cm long and has a 1.8 cm ID (inner diameter) packed with non-porous glass beads (20-30 mesh) and immersed in a temperature programmable oil bath. The bath is stirred vigorously to minimize temperature gradients within the bath, and the bath temperature is measured using a platinum resistance thermometer. About 1.6 g of polymer is placed in a sample preparation chamber, which is repeatedly evacuated and filled with nitrogen to remove oxygen from the system. A metered volume of tetrachloroethylene solvent is then pumped into the sample preparation chamber, where it is stirred and heated under 3 atmospheres pressure at 140°C to obtain a polymer solution of about 1 percent concentration. A metered volume of this solution, 100 ml, is then pumped into the packed column thermostated at about 120°C.
  • the polymer solution in the column is subsequently crystallized by cooling the column to 0°C at a cooling rate of about 20°C/min.
  • the column temperature is then maintained at 0°C for 25 minutes.
  • the elution stage is then begun by pumping pure solvent, preheated to the temperature of the oil bath, through the column at a flow rate of 27 cc/min.
  • Effluent from the column passes through a heated line to an IR detector which is used to measure the absorbance of the effluent stream.
  • the absorbance of the polymer carbon-hydrogen stretching bands at about 2960 cm -1 serves as a continuous measure of the relative weight percent concentration of polymer in the effluent.
  • SDBI Solubility Distribution Breadth Index
  • Solubility distributions of two ethylene copolymers are shown in Figure 1.
  • Sample X has a narrow solubility distribution and elutes over a narrow temperature range compared to Sample Y, which has a broad solubility distribution.
  • a Solubility Distribution Breadth Index (SDBI) is used as a measure of the breadth of the solubility distribution curve.
  • SDBI Solubility Distribution Breadth Index
  • SDBI is thus analogous to the standard deviation of the solubility distribution curve, but it involves the fourth power rather than the second power to T - T ave ).
  • the narrow solubility distribution Sample X single-site catalyst (SSC) produced
  • the broad solubility distribution Sample Y multi-site catalyst (multi) produced) in Figure 1 have SDBI values equal to 14.6 and 29.4°C, respectively.
  • the preferred values of SDBI for fibers and fabric of this invention are less than 25°C and more preferred at less than 20°C.
  • fiber is intended to comprehend at least the litany of related terms as described by Sawyer, et al. including fiber, monofilament, multi-filament, staple, and strand, without regard to method of formation of any of these.
  • strand will at least encompass a fiber which may be formed by normal means as well as those which may be, for example, slit or cut from a sheet or band.
  • non-conjugated polyene cyclic non-conjugated polyenes, acetylenically unsaturated monomers, or combinations thereof.
  • Novel fibers of copolymer of ethylene and comonomer having density in the range of 0.86 to 0.93 g/cm 3 with 0.91 g/cm 3 being the preferred upper limit, MWD in the range of 1.8 to 3.5 with 3 being preferred as the upper limit, melt index in the range of 4 to 1000, and SDBI less than 25°C, along with fabrics incorporating these fibers, have been developed.
  • These fibers, and fabrics have the unique properties of being soft, elastically recoverable with permanent set being somewhat variable with density but, preferably of between about 5 and about 30%, non-tacky, non-boardy, breathable, and comfortable to the wearer.
  • These properties are achievable in the fibers through tailoring of the polymer from which they are formed rather than by cumbersome blending, post-formation mechanical deformation, or other difficult or expensive processing.
  • These fibers may be produced by any method which draws fiber from molten polymer including melt-spinning, melt-blown, and spunbonding processes. They may also be produced in less traditional methods including sheet-slitting or stuff-crimping as well as other methods available in the art.
  • One aspect of this invention is directed toward fiber and the formation of fiber comprising; copolymer of ethylene and comonomer, that copolymer having density in the range of 0.86 to 0.93 g/cm 3 with less than 0.92 or 0.91 g/cm 3 preferred as the upper side of the range, MWD in the range of 1.8 to 3.5 with 3 being preferred for the upper side of the range, melt index in the range of 4 to 1000, and SDBI less than 25°C.
  • Another aspect of this invention is directed toward a method of making such fiber comprising drawing fiber from a reservoir of molten copolymer.
  • a further aspect of this invention involves fiber formation by passing molten copolymer through at least one forming device and concurrently or subsequently solidifying copolymer.
  • Such a method might include, for example, traditional melt spinning and fiber formation in a spunbonding process.
  • Another aspect of this invention involves fiber formation by movement of a fluid, different from copolymer, around molten copolymer. This method would include, for example, fiber formation in the early stages of meltblown fabric formation.
  • Another important aspect of this invention includes formation of fabric from fiber produced in the manner described.
  • a fiber comprising a copolymer of ethylene and one or more comonomer, which copolymer has a density of from 0.86 to 0.93 g/cm 3 , a molecular weight distribution of from 1.8 to 3.5, a melt index (MI, ASTM D-1238 (E)) of from 4 to 1000, and a SDBI of less than 25°C.
  • Each comonomer preferably has from 3 to 20, more preferably 3 to 10 carbon atoms and may comprise for example propylene, butene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, 4-methyl-1-pentene, styrene, or combinations thereof.
  • SDBI is a measure of the distribution of comonomer units along the copolymer chain. In general, the more uniform the distribution, i.e., the narrower the compositional distribution about the mean, the better. Accordingly for the fiber, the SDBI is less than 25°C, preferably less than 20°C.
  • the nature and proportion of comonomer in the copolymer controls the density, and preferably comonomer-type and content are adjusted to yield densities of about 0.86 to 0.93, more preferably 0.86 to 0.92, 0.915, 0.910 or 0.90, and most preferably to about 0.89.
  • densities in conjunction with the required copolymer characteristics of MWD, MI, and SDBI have been found to yield fibers having optimized features of production and use.
  • the preferred MI of the copolymer depends on the manner in which fiber is to be formed. For production by the spunbond process, the preferred range is from 4 - 60; for the meltblown process, it is from 10 to 1000.
  • the preferred use of the inventive fibers is in the formation of fabric, especially non-woven fabrics. Fabrics formed from the fibers have been found to have excellent elastic properties making them suitable for many garment applications. They also have good drapeability.
  • meltblown fabric with nominal basis weight of about 70 g/m 2 , according to the invention, made from fibers according to the invention of 8 - 10 ⁇ m diameter.
  • metallocene catalysts include not only bis-cyclopentadienyl transition metal compounds but also monocyclopentadienyl/heteratom transition metal compounds and other similarly catalytic transition metal compounds, in combination with an activating cocatalyst. These may include organo-metallic cocatalysts, particularly organo-aluminum compounds in the form of alumoxanes, or bulky anionic catalyst activators as disclosed in EP A 277 003 and EP A 277 004.
  • copolymers may be produced by polymerizing the proper combinations of monomers with single-site catalyst systems.
  • catalyst systems include the metallocene/ and monocyclopentadienyl-heteroatom-transition metal/activator systems, as described in EP A 129 368, EP A 277 003, EP A 277 004, U.S. 5,153,157, U.S. 5,057,475 and WO 92/00333.
  • suitable activators for these families of catalytic transition-metal compounds include various alumoxanes, particularly trimethyl alumoxane, and bulky labile anionic activators.
  • these materials lack the low molecular weight species which are necessarily produced by the more traditional catalysts. Therefore, they lack the short-chain or low molecular weight species which would be expected to interfere with the surface characteristics of the fiber. Without the low MW species, none can exude to the surface of the fiber in the form of the sticky material which would be characteristic of the traditional-catalyst-produced materials.
  • a further advantage, which may explain the qualitative observations of ease of spinning, as described later, is that these single-site catalyst produced materials, which do indeed lack the low molecular weight (short-chain length) species would not have problems with the detrimental shorter-chain species collecting around the spinnerette holes during spinning.
  • a property related to softness of the fabric is "drapeability". This characteristic is measured in a qualitative fashion. Generally, a piece of fabric is placed or “draped” over an object having complex contours including, for example, the human hand or fist. A fabric with low drapeability would display many "creases” or “hard” wrinkles which hide the contours of the underlying object. A highly drapeable fabric would display few such wrinkles but rather would generally conform more closely to the contours of the underlying object. Although a qualitative measure, it is a concept and test which is understood by those familiar with the textile arts. Without exception, the single-site catalyst produced resins displayed a high degree of drapeability. Fabrics made from the comparative test resins in each set of tests were not highly drapeable. To the wearer, a drapeable fabric will feel soft while a less drapeable fabric will feel "boardy” or stiff and irritating to the wearer.
  • Ethylene/butene (EB) (Examples 1-3 and 6-8) and ethylene/propylene (EP) (Example 4) copolymers were tested within the density range previously mentioned in a spunbonding process. For comparative information these were tested against ethylene-octene (EO) copolymer material which is believed to have been produced in a process using a traditional multi-site catalyst (Examples 5 and 9).
  • the comparative material which was produced by traditional catalysis was Dowlex 2517, a 25 melt index, 0.917 g/cm 3 material which is similar to Dow Aspun 6801, both available from Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan.
  • the single-site catalyst produced materials used in these tests were received from Exxon Chemical Company.
  • the first test run was to form fibers and create a spunbonded non-woven fabric. This was accomplished by use of a one meter Reicofil line which is made by Reifenhauser Company.
  • Table I provides general information on the polymers which were tested, processing conditions for each polymer tested, and test results of the non-woven spunbond fabric which was produced.
  • the spunbonding process is one which is well known in the art of fabric production. Generally, continuous fibers are extruded, laid on an endless belt, and then bonded to each other, often by a heated calendar roll.
  • Example 1 Viewing tensile modulus, ASTM D-1682, at both 50 percent extension and 100 percent extension as being related to drapeability and softness, or ease of extension of the fibers or fabric it is apparent that the 0.921 density copolymer resin with a 31 melt index (Example 1) demonstrates noticeably diminished tensile modulus or enhanced drapeability and softness when compared with the similar comparative material (Example 5) having 0.917 density and melt index of about 26. Viewing permanent set as a measure of elastic recoverability it is apparent that Example No. 1, which shows the 0.921 density material having melt index of 31, has measurably greater elastic recoverability, or less permanent set, at 50% extension than does the comparative Example No. 5 at that same 50% extension. Viewing the 100% extension results presented for fabric Example No. 1 it is not so clearly apparent that elastic recoverability for fabric derived from the single-site catalyst produced material is remarkably better. However, noticeable benefits in softness and elastic recovery after 50 percent extension do indeed demonstrate incrementally better properties.
  • Permanent set was measured by hysteresis tests conducted with an Instron Model 1122 with a jaw gap of 13 cm (5 in.) and 13 cm (5 in.) crosshead speed of 13 cm/min at 50 and 100% extension through the designated number of cycles for the spunbonded material.
  • This test is a modification of ASTM D-1682 wherein the stretching is cycled rather than continued through fabric failure; after stretching the designated amount for the designated number of cycles, loss of recoverability, or permanent set, is measured.
  • the later described meltblown fabric was tested for two cycles. Tensile modulus is the peak force encountered during first and last cycle.
  • Example Nos. 2, 3, and 4 While improvement in properties does begin to show up in the range of about 0.93 density for materials derived from single-site catalyst produced polymers, it is readily apparent from Example Nos. 2, 3, and 4 that elastic recoverability, as measured by lack of permanent set, is measurably better than the comparative material (Example 5). Further, Example Nos. 2, 3, and 4 demonstrate clearly that the tensile modulus, which relates to drapeability and softness, is much improved for these examples and can be tailored in relation to densities.
  • Example No. 1 having a density of 0.921 demonstrates a ten degree lower bonding temperature than comparative Example No. 5 which has a density of 0.917. This measurable difference in bonding temperature is even more remarkable as density decreases; as shown in Example Nos. 2, 3, and 4. All of those examples demonstrate bonding temperatures some 40 - 70°C lower than that of the comparative example.
  • the die nozzle had 501 die holes. The diameter of each being 0.4 mm (0.015 in.). Die length was 15:1 and the air gap was set to 0.15 mm (0.060 in.).
  • the comparative traditional material was Dow Aspun 61800.31 which may be obtained from Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan. Each of the other tested resins were single-site catalyst produced ethylene copolymers and were received from Exxon Chemical Company.
  • Table II describes general polymer properties, process parameters, and final fabric test results.
  • Example Nos. 6 and 9 demonstrate that the fabric of Example 6 is measurably more elastically recoverable but by measurement of tensile modulus does not appear to be noticeably more easily extended than comparative Example No. 9. It is in this area of 0.92 - 0.93 density at which the advantages of softness and elastic recoverability as well as low bonding temperature begin to appear in the practice of this invention. As with the results of the spunbonded trials, it is seen in the meltblown trial results that the characteristics which are so desirable do indeed begin to show up in this region but are more definitively and completely present within the lower density ranges as demonstrated by the fabrics made from fibers spun from the single-site catalyst produced polymer resin Example Nos. 7 and 8.
  • Example No. 6 does provide fibers and fabric which are softer than those demonstrated by the comparative Example No. 9. With the exception of the outlying data points for tensile modulus for Example No. 6, it is apparent that the copolymer resins produced by single-site catalysis provided the inventive fibers and fabric with the demonstrated beneficial characteristics which are the advantages of this invention.
  • Total hand is measured on the Thwing, Albert Handle-O-Meter, Model 211-5, according to TAPPI 4998 CM-85 test method using a 0.64 cm (0.25 in.) slot with a sample of about 20 cm X 20 cm (8 in. X 8 in.).
